Hero of mine

(VERSE 1) I did you so many ugly wrongs I turned and like that I was gone All without even one second thought But you were the one who said you’re sorry I turned away from your open arms Didn’t care if I did you any harm I said “no thank you” and walked along But you were still ready to fight for me

(CHORUS) Did I ever tell you thank you For all you sacrificed for me? Did I ever lean on the shoulder That you always had there for me? And did I ever let you know That without you I’d rather die? Did you ever hear me tell you That you are a hero of mine?

(VERSE 2) You were there to wipe away my tears Said the things I needed to hear When you were holding me I felt no fear But I told you I was fine on my own You never talked bad behind my back Didn’t humiliate me where I lacked You came to me when I was off track But I wanted to be left alone

(CHORUS)

(CHORUS 2) Did I ever salute you when You were there to save the day? Did I ever realize you were there When my blue skies had turned to gray? Did I ever tell you I would Pass on this love that’s so divine? Did you ever hear me tell you That you are a hero of mine?

(CHORUS)

These lyrics are so sweet and beautiful. I feel they go along with the saying "You don't know what you have until it's gone." Because you take advantage of someone for so long and you never realize how much they mean to you until you lose that person. Great job! You are a great songwriter.
